Ethan Hawke has shared a cheeky insight into his bedroom habits.
The American actor, 55, has been a mainstay on our screens over the past 40 years, appearing in films including Dead Poets Society, Reality Bites, Training Day and Boyhood.
Throughout that time, he’s also picked up an Emmy Award and has also been nominated for five Oscars, three Golden Globes, two Baftas and a Tony.
Ethan is also currently in the running for the best actor Oscar at next month’s ceremony – for playing lyricist Lorenz Hart in the biopic Blue Moon.
This week he also attended the Baftas in London – where he’d been nominated for best actor.
Although the gong went to I Swear’s Robert Aramayo, following the ceremony Ethan appeared to be in pretty good spirits – attending British Vogue’s Fashion & Film after-party, which was hosted in collaboration with GQ.
At the event several stars sat down for brief interview – in which they were asked a series of questions while also playing Jenga.
When it came time for his turn, Ethan was posed with the question: ‘Is it bad to eat in bed?’
Putting his sunglasses back on and attempting to keep a straight face, the actor admitted: ‘Incredibly vulgar things are going through my brain right now.’
He then declared: ‘I like to eat in bed, but I don’t eat food.’
Knowing his bold statement would get plenty of reaction, he then giggled and quickly did his best to move on, then answering other questions about when it was too early to eat dinner and what was the worst thing to leave at home.
Ethan has been married to Ryan Shawhughes in 2008, with the couple sharing daughters, Clementine Jean and Indiana.
She had previously briefly worked as a nanny for his children with actress Uma Thurman while the pair were married but has always maintained he and his current wife only got together a year after his first divorce.
He was married to Uma, whom he met on the set of Gattaca in 1996, from 1998 until 2003 amidst allegations of infidelity. They share children Maya and Levon, who are both also actors.
Last year Ethan made a rare comment about their divorce and public interest regarding their split.
‘The public eye is like gasoline, but what makes divorce hard is the stuff that makes it hard for everyone – the family elements, how to help the kids through it,’ he told The New York Times.
‘I’m so envious of people who have amicable splits,’ he said before adding he wouldn’t comment further after promising his children not to publicly discuss it.
But discussing his current wife, he shared: ‘When I split up I was hellbent on not having any more kids and I wanted to be single for the rest of my life. But then I made a best friend and I liked kissing her.’
While attending the Baftas this weekend, Ethan also fought back tears after Robert paid tribute to him during his acceptance speech.
The actor, 33, beat out huge names including Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothée Chalamet and Jesse Plemons, following his performance in the biopic, I Swear, based on campaigner John Davidson’s life with severe Tourette’s syndrome.
Speaking on stage, he thanked fellow nominee Ethan for inspiring him at drama school.
‘I absolutely can’t believe this. I can’t believe I’m looking at people like you [Leonardo] never mind that I’m stood here,’ he said.
‘I honestly cannot believe that I have won this award I really cannot. Everyone in this category blows me away.’
He went on to explain: ‘When I was in school Ethan Hawke came to speak to us at Juilliard and he gave an amazing talk on longevity as an actor, protecting your instrument and avoiding self-destructive behaviours.
‘And it had a great impact on everyone in that room, so to be in this category with you tonight is incredible. Thank you Ethan!’
The camera then panned to Ethan in the audience, who hid his face in his hands as he began to tear up before smiling and nodding at Robert.
